​2015 - Is your New Years resolution to give up smoking?

​2015 - Is your New Years resolution to give up smoking?

Posted by Carlene Gabriel on 8th Jan 2015

If you’re still smoking despite all the recent price hikes then you must be well and truly addicted. We all know the health benefits of not smoking, the graphic advertising on the television lays testament to that! Smoking has just about been banned everywhere in public so that must make it difficult for you.

A gentler approach may be to tell you what my Doctor told me when I quit years ago. She was the first person who didn’t scold me and play the Prophet of Doom to someone who clearly knew smoking was dumb. What she did tell me that helped was “if it doesn’t work the first time you give up, keep trying. Statistics show that each time you try giving up you get closer to stopping for good”.

So keep trying smokers, the end may be nearer than you think!

Oh, and Happy New Year!
